    tracking memory usage


    Sort of two questions here:

    The first is about the internal view: are there Python introspection
    functions that can be called such that a running script can keep tabs on how
    much memory is being used?

    And the second is about using either os or system calls on Windows such
    that a Python script could get similar information about other processes
    (i.e., external)?

    Thanks,
    -ej

      the following:

      I also found a cool recipe for doing some of what you want, but it's
      only been tested on Linux. You might be able to modify it for your
      needs, if you don't mind delving into process ids:

      Good luck!
